Dam your fast storysunfolding, you beat me to it!

The newer the stickers are the easier they are to get off. If they are really old or if the bike has been left out in the sun or more than a year you might/will notice the paint under the stickers will be brighter as the UV hasn't fading the paint under them. So sometimes it's better to leave them on if they are old. Also on really old stickers, you might have some rust under them from water vapor being trapped under it for so long.

Something to think about before you remove them.

Honestly, if you are on here that much (I'm on from 7am to 5pm, M-F), then that's a massive complement to the friendliness and usefulness of the community!

I present you with this honorary TMW trophy for being on TMW so much!

yes, a hairdryer used to slowly warm up the decal will work but
you need to go easy on pulling it up also.
